When it was my turn to have my book signed, I gushed like a
'little school girl'
"I'm your BIGGEST fan!!!"
SRD looked me up... and he looked me down...and said
"NO. I don't think you are."
THAT was when the carpet refused to swallow me....
(so embarrassing...but funny!)
It seems the man is never at a loss for words! Nice intro, Jasmina. And welcome!

Hail, Jasmina! Welcome and true! (and same to everyone else who has recently joined that I haven't welcomed...I don't check this forum as often as I should...)

Hello fellow lovers of Covenant. I first found this amazing story 20 some years ago in a D&D game...the leader was using it for his background. I have read and re-read more times that I can begin to tell. I stopped trying to "give" the gift of this book, and the amzing story within it when I was told it was stupid a few years back. Both my kids have read at least the first book (now almost 21 and 19) at an age when they could at least understand Lena's and Convenant's feeling when that horrific begininng, well..began. Kudos to Donaldson. I am a prolific reader, always have been. Classics to silly romances. There is no author finer than Donaldson, or comparible. I know it is a personal choice. But for me...I thank you Mr. Donaldson, for giving me your best.

Hail All,
Especially Variol Son, its good to see that the old ways are still followed, Dlbpharmed and Myste, Hail and well met. i am honored to join the watch.
hmmm, Tamo... Tamo... Bodhidharma's nickname. Also a character in a two-episode story of the original Kung Fu series. I'm not sure I could possibly give a big enough welcome to someone with that name!

Hail Tamo, welcome to the Watch.
Why especially me though? Are you from NZ or something like that?

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.
In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.
Thanks Fist. i was wondering how long it would take for someone to nknow who Tamo was. i am indeed well met. i can see that is is going to be great fun and good company.

No, it's just that Tamo instinctively knows we're the nicest!

myste. not only are all NZ folks great ( unless you are talking to aussies) but you posted a hail to me a while back and since i was gone was abe to reply sooner.
Ah. Gotcha. Being neither kiwi nor aussie, I'm a bit slow on the uptake. I dated a New Zealander once, and had one for a boss for a short while. Does that count at all?

Tamo why would you think Aussies don't think New Zealand folks are great?
